What are things I will absolutely NEED when the baby gets here? I'm trying to figure out what else we need to get and I don't want to overlook anything.
If you're planning to bf, a shirt thats easy to expose yourself in til you get the hang of it and hair ties/clips. Not everyone needs it, but its a good idea to make sure you have pain meds in the house, my back hurt super badly and could not have survived w/o my advil.
Nursed without dairy, egg, soy, peanut, treenut, fish, shellfish or beef for over a year.
Currently tandem nursing dairy, egg, and shellfish free.
DS born via emergency c/s after 20 hrs of labor. DD successful VBAC!
Re: Give a girl a little help (BR)
First 3 weeks all you need is:
That is it really. there's not much else.
I agree.. although it is not NEEDED the swing was a miracle worker for us
Baby in a Blue Teapot
Tempest in a Blue Teapot, food and everything else

Ditto all of the above, plus a swaddle me or miracle blanket for good swaddling.
Oh, nipple pad thingies even if you aren't going to BF. that shiit leaks when your milk comes it. Will ruin a bra and it smells icky.
ETA: these: click
If you are nursing, some boob lube. I used it every single time and I swear it saved me lots of anguish.
I liked the Lansinoh better then the Medela.

Granny panties. Cheap and comfy. That you don't mind throwing away.
Or steal some extra mesh ones from the hospital. Those things rocked.
Swing.
we didn't get our swing until she was almost 7 weeks old. Kicking myself for not getting it sooner.
